Feature request: Request body support for JS expressions

[leonardschneider]

It would be great if the request body could support JS expressions, so we could do things like:

{
  "number": `1 +2`,
  "string": `"hello"`,
  "null": `null`,
  "array": `[1, 2, 3]`,
  "ignoredOptional": `undefined`,
  "randomIntBetween0And1000": `Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000)`,
  "globalVariableDerivation": `pm.globals.get("count") + 3`
}

If the result of the evaluation is undefined, then the whole field is ignored.

@leonardschneider Thanks for the request! We will try to look into supporting more ES6 JS features. I'll let you know here when we make progress.

@leonardschneider I understood your use case, this can be achieved using the variables.

I feel we misunderstood this feature request initially as JS expressions can't be evaluated directly in the request body.

This use-case can now be achieved using editable requests from pre-request scripts programmatically. Albeit this specific need to edit "body" is not yet supported. But is in the roadmap in short to mid term.

The same is being tracked at: #4808
